July 11, 2012

The Undisputed Lyrical Master, Modenine dropped a mixtape titled ‘Occupying The Throne’ where he went over beats from Jay and Ye’s “Watch the Throne” album and other beats. You can download it here >> http://www.sendspace.com/file/j9g8k4

you be buying the lies, i spit the shit that be inspiring lives / or fictional i sneak a lil sci-fi in a rhyme/

S: This could be the most difficult beat to murder in hiphop. Too much to live up to on this.

T: Boogey is the future of this naija rap shit and he held his own

S: Big fan of Boogey although he struggled a bit with his flow on this, but every bar packed a punch.

T: Cant wait to hear Boogey’s own stuff

S: But this boogey thinks he is smart sha. He will just be going around murking vets on their own shit. He chop M.I., he chop Terry whole mixtape…e wan come chop Mode. Boogey we see u!!!!

Thank U

T: One of my fav songs off Blueprint 3…once again Mode was on point ( i sound like a broken record saying this)

S: I don’t like this beat! I don’t like this beat. I will be waiting for you on the next song.

T: What do you know about music?….Hater

S: Hopefully, He is saying Thank U to his Twitter followers?

T: LOL. He actually said mentioned ‘follow/unfollow’ 😦

A Million 08

S: My fav Jay intro

T: One of my favourite Preemo beats

S: Almost every beat from Preemo is one of my favourite

T: I doubt if any artiste can go wrong on a Preemo beat.

S: *whispers* Ill Bliss

T: Na u talk am o

Verdict

T: Ladies and gentlewomen, this mixtape is a solid effort from Modo If you are a hiphop head…if you are not, stay clear from this. Is Modenine the best lyricist in Naija or Africa? YES…Does he put out the best hiphop music?…i don’t think so. But its hard

S: This is simple. If you like lyrics and bars…This is Mode at his braggadocios best. If however, you don’t and you want a nice hook, a couple of moving instrumentals and some musical entertainment….you have missed all kinds of roads ( u basically took directions from a Malo okada rider). I listened to this mixtape with my Rap Ears.

This gets a solid….4 wRaps

@ShoWontStop and @whoistunde signing out. If you follow us….We will BLOCK U

Yh, just as you said, it needed more creative samples, and in addition to the perfect bars some sounds shud accompany the songs. a good example is Kanye’s ‘Power’..he spat some sick stuff and it was also sick musically. Boogey did good and brought his own perspective to Dead Presidents. Good tape altogether. Nothing surprising though.

Cool review! Not sure about the ratings though. It’s a must bump for hiphop heads but a don’t bump for pakurumo heads so, 3wraps would be more like it. FYI @tunde SA’s PROVERB is the best rapper in africa! Mode need to connect wit kid connect.

I’m not a serious hip hop head. I know Mode spits sicks bars, but it messes with my halo frequency. Can’t tune into heaven and all that (._. ). So will I listen to this tape? Sadly, but predictably, no. 4 wraps tho?, well u guys can do no wrong in my eyes ;;) Hi Sho…

Said it for years, Modo’s the BEST rapper (known rapper) in 9ja….. Z’got that real hip-hop ish locked. Have my reservation on some tracks tho, but all in all nice attempt doing OTT off WTT. Yea, one more thing, he was soo right with the reference he made to drake on N.I.P. Wasn’t a shot @ him though but @ some 9ja rappers. Real witty huh? 🙂
